[After waking up with no idea where she was on a mysterious boat, and moving up from said boat to discover a city she did not recognize in the least, Yang had just plopped herself down on a nearby bench. When it came to weirdness and oddity, the teen generally needed a few minutes to really process through all of it, so that's what she was doing. It wasn't helping very much, but at least the urge to scream was starting to fade?]

[Instead she turned on the walkie-talkie thing, flipping slowly through the options until she found what she hoped was some sort of video feature. On a social network? Something like that. It would have to do for now, anyway.]

Uh. Hey. I'm Yang. [She gives the screen a little wave.] Not really sure what's going on? I found these pamphlet things but, didn't really read 'em yet.

[She pauses, and her expression turns a bit frustrated as she points over her shoulder, back towards where she had emerged after waking up.]

Look, anybody else just wake up a boat? 'cause that's a thing that happened, and it's still freaking me out a little bit.

[She sucks in a breath and then runs her hand through her hair, tugging on it in frustration.] Right, anyway. I guess I'll just...read these? 'cause that'll help... Thanks.

[She waves again and then clicks the screen off.]

There's a breakfast nook and a dining room. The nook is connected to the kitchen, so that is probably what you're referring to.

[ Frost is going to follow Yang around happily in the house at her feet. ]

We just purchased it, so it's all fairly new. Ruby called dibs on the master bedroom, Blake and my rooms are upstairs. Your stuff.. the stuff you had before is in that room.

[ Weiss walks over to where she can see it so she can point to it. ] But you can move into any unused room you want. That one has its own bathroom attached, we have to share upstairs.

So it's the kitchen table. It doesn't need another name like 'nook.'

[Ah well, on to more important matters...]

My stuff. [Yang echoes this softly as she looks towards the indicated room, her expression uncertain. Her stuff. Because that made sense. But hey.]

I get my own bathroom, huh? [She manages a grin there.]

It's a nook.

[ She pauses for a moment. ] Anything you don't want I would suggest pawning for cash instead of tossing it. Except for the presents. There should still be some in there for you from Christmas.

For more of that board game money, I guess. [Which was a thought. She'd need some sort of job?]

Presents? Well...they weren't really for me though, were they?

Well, we do need it if we want to keep the house and not get all of us stuck back in a tiny little apartment with paper-thin walls.

[ Weiss gets out a little raw hide bone from a cabinet on the wall, which Frost runs up and takes while Weiss gives him a little pat, then runs off with it. Then she turns back to Yang. ]

I know at least two of them are from me and I'm giving them to you now, so at least don't throw them away. You're the same person I know from home whether you were here before or not. I don't really care if you don't remember, you're still Yang.

Right. Job it is, then. [Yang was not really a day job kind of person.]

Yeah but- [She wanted to object. She wanted to point out that if she couldn't remember it, if she'd never remember it, then it wasn't her. But at the same time, she did need stuff. She only had the clothes on her back.]

Alright, if you say so.

It's not the same one you used to have, but.. I think you should talk to Sun about that. His job seems more up your alley in my opinion.

[ At the very least, she thinks Yang would have more fun working with Sun. ]

...What's he do? [Not that Yang didn't trust Weiss, but sometimes her ideas were a bit...out there.]

He works out in Fayren. He goes into the forest for supplies and fights monsters in the area for the townspeople there. He has a little office and everything.

Oh. [Well.] That does sound pretty cool. What're the monsters like here? Professor Ozpin already warned me not to pick fights with anything.

It depends on which city you're in. Genessia itself is relatively free from monsters. Fayren has a lot of monsters in the forests, like trolls or ogres. Don't kill the dragons if you meet one, just.. get out of there, preferably. I don't think they usually bother people so it shouldn't be an issue. Everglade I think is ghosts and vampires, someone told me they heard a werewolf over there once but I don't know how they would be able to tell the difference. Also some of the demons are actual people and some of them are okay, whereas some have actually attempted to destroy the entire city with an army from hell and blew up a hospital.

It really just depends, but I wouldn't say you shouldn't pick any fights. They even post bounties in the newspaper sometimes, you can get paid for picking fights like that.

Hmm. [Thoughtful Yang s Thoughtful.]

Bounties, huh? You ever tried for any of them?

A couple in the past. Some are easier than others.

Sounds a lot better than a desk job. [Yang grins, still looking around the house.] And I'm guessing money is a thing, since we bought a house. Is there rent I need to make?

We make monthly payments, yes. And we all have to do chores too. We can probably discuss that with everyone to sort it out.

So how much of this board game money is my share a month?

[She fishes out the cash she had found in the flyer, finally taking a moment to count it, then grinning.]

Haven't had to worry about money in a while, think I remember how.

[ Insert an amount here because Tay sure as hell isn't doing math while sick and not knowing numbers woohoooooooo. ]

Which you don't have to pay this month. We can probably manage a little while as you find your feet.

Eh, we'll see. I'll see what I can scrounge up, anyway. [She's already thinking about these bounty things.]

Man. Yesterday I was worried about school, tomorrow I'll be worried about a rent.

It's honestly not that bad. As long as you're not working the absolute minimum level job you should be able to make it. If you work with Sun and do the bounties on top of that, it shouldn't be too difficult to even manage some spending money. We are all doing our share.

Hmm. [Yang wasn't that worried about the details, really. She always managed details, or details managed themselves.]

Do you like it here?

[A sudden question, maybe, but there you go.]

[ Oh boy, that's.. a tough question for Weiss. ]

I.. like it well enough. Most of the problems that exist back home don't exist here. There's no discrimination against the Faunus so Blake and Sun don't have to face that, and this is the only way I can be with Zuko. The White Fang isn't here. Honestly, part of me doesn't want to go home, even if I know that there are things I miss back there.

[Yang has no idea what to say to that. It sounds so...strange, impossible really.] I'll have to take your word for it.

[It did make sense, in a way, but for Weiss. With a boyfriend, with a home, being here for years...]

I can't say I feel the same way yet, though. I doubt I ever will.

I didn't for a long time, and I definitely didn't think I was going to end up falling in love with anyone.

[ She shrugs. ] I'm not saying that you have to or that you ever will, but if we had to get kidnapped, I'm glad it was this place and not some weird hell world.

Weird hell world. Well, can't argue with that, huh? [Yang grins, then claps her hands together. Enough avoiding it.]

So, is there anything else I need to...do?

Besides getting a job and doing your share of the cleaning, it's mostly up to you. I mean, as long as you remember to put the dog gate up if you're playing with Frost and Blake wants to be left alone.
